Although not active in the actual day-to-day running of 5MM, Russell has for some time now maintained an A&R role for the company. His ear for identifying good music is second-to-none, cannily managing to anticipate and identify the next generation of hugely talented successful writers, producers artists. He is involved with with kinds of musical escapades including The Mercury Music Prize, Nothing To See Here and the (now) cult classic web tv series The Porter Report. He has pointed us in the direction of a number of our current writers. A task which we appreciate immensely, long may it continue. We salute you!
